This easy-level worksheet has students fix sentence errors, fill in blanks, and write short answers to practice coordinate plane skills.
It includes 9 questions across 3 sections for focused practice.
Style:
Coordinate Plane
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The point (3, 0) is located 3 units above the origin.
Rewrite: The point (3, 0) is located 3 units to the right of the origin.
2. Fix the sentence:
An ordered pair is written with the y-coordinate first, then the x-coordinate.
Rewrite: An ordered pair is written with the x-coordinate first, then the y-coordinate.
3. Fix the sentence:
The x-axis runs vertically on a coordinate plane.
Rewrite: The x-axis runs horizontally on a coordinate plane.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In the ordered pair (9, 4), the y-coordinate is 4.
2. The point where the x-axis and y-axis cross is called the origin.
3. To plot (0, 5), stay at the origin and move 5 units up.
4. The ordered pair for the origin is (0, 0).
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Explain why the order of numbers matters in an ordered pair. Use (1, 8) and (8, 1) as examples.
The order matters because the first number tells how far right to go and the second tells how far up. The point (1, 8) is 1 unit right and 8 units up, but (8, 1) is 8 units right and only 1 unit up. They are in completely different positions on the grid.
2. A point has an x-coordinate of 0 and a y-coordinate of 6. Where is this point located on the coordinate plane?
The point (0, 6) is located on the y-axis. Since the x-coordinate is 0, you do not move right or left from the origin. You only move 6 units up, so the point sits directly on the y-axis.

★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
The point (3, 0) is located 3 units above the origin.
Rewrite: The point (3, 0) is located 3 units to the right of the origin.
2) Fix the sentence:
An ordered pair is written with the y-coordinate first, then the x-coordinate.
Rewrite: An ordered pair is written with the x-coordinate first, then the y-coordinate.
3) Fix the sentence:
The x-axis runs vertically on a coordinate plane.
Rewrite: The x-axis runs horizontally on a coordinate plane.
